Check your Wave email online, anytime, by using our convenient Webmail service.
Please refer to our Email Help page.
Wave Broadband has taken a number of measures to reduce spam messages sent through our mail server. Unfortunately, there are limits to what kind of spam controls can be placed on a server, as these settings affect every mailbox on that server.
Because spam can appear very similar to legitimate email when analyzed by a computer, it is not possible to eliminate all spam without preventing many legitimate emails from being delivered as well.
We continue to work towards the best spam filtering possible, to prevent unwanted emails from reaching our customers, but because of these limitations, the best method to reduce the amount of spam you receive is to run spam control software on your computer. If you wish to report a particular spam email to our abuse department, please complete our Email Abuse Form.
If other internet services are working, but email receives an error such as "Cannot connect to server" or "Timeout connecting to server", then the most likely cause is an error in the email account settings. Please check your email account settings to see if a program on your computer has changed those settings. Information on your email account settings can be found on our page about setting up your email software.
In most cases, simply checking for new mail will download your messages from the server and remove those emails that were filling your quota. The best way to check what emails are still on the server is by logging into Webmail and checking how many messages are in the folders there.
If you have emails saved to separate folders in the Webmail program, or emails you sent using Webmail that were saved to "Sent Items", those emails will apply towards your mail quota until they are removed. You will want to delete them from the server, or move them to your inbox so you can download them the next time you check for messages.
If you have just checked for new mail, and when you check Webmail you find there are messages you have downloaded still remaining in the "Inbox", you may need to change the settings in your email software.
Check the help files of your email program to determine how to either turn on "Remove messages from server" or turn off "Leave messages on server", depending on how your software phrases that setting.
If you do not use email software on your computer and instead handle all your email through the Webmail program, you will need to set up an email program on your computer. If you use the Webmail program exclusively, problems with the quota on your mailbox will continue to occur until you begin using email software on your computer.
Like most mail servers on the internet, our servers do not accept attachments that are 30 MB or larger. We recommend compressing the files to a smaller size. Also, you will need to make sure that the email address you are sending to can receive emails of that size.
This is called a "bounce message" that indicates your email could not get to the recipient. Sometimes this is caused by a temporary problem with mail servers on the internet, but usually it is because of a problem with the email itself. Typically, the bounce message will include an error indicating why the original email could not be sent.
Here are some common errors you may encounter:
The way email programs such as Outlook and Mac Mail work, is to download the email to the software on your computer, and then remove the email from the mail server at that time.
When you check your email through Webmail, you are logged in directly to the server, and therefore all emails which have been downloaded by your email software are no longer available through Webmail.
Most connection problems can be corrected by resetting your equipment and then restoring power to each device in order.
To reset your modem, unplug the power for at least 30 seconds. If you are using a router in addition to the modem, please see our instructions for resetting both pieces of equipment.
If you have created a network in your home using a router, you will want to power-cycle both pieces of equipment at once:
If the cable modem indicates a connection to the internet, but your computer cannot connect through a router, you will need to bypass the router and plug one computer directly into the modem:
If you are able to connect to the internet using a computer plugged directly into the modem, but cannot connect using your router, then your Wave internet service is working. If these steps do not fix the problem, please contact our technical support department at 1-866-928-3123
Yes. While Wave does not mandate what security software you should use, we support and will help you with the installation of your choice of third-party anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware, and firewall sofware.
Please consult the equipment guide for your router. If you have Wave Wireless Home Networking, our installation professionals will establish the security settings on it at the time of install.
Most performance issues can be addressed simply by shutting down background internet programs and bypassing additional network equipment. In order to test your speed, Wave Broadband provides a speed test designed to test your connection within our network.
Since many factors can affect your access to individual websites, we cannot guarantee the same connection speed in every online interaction.
Speed variations are due to a variety of factors, including network traffic, the number of people conducting the test simultaneously, or any number of hardware and/or software capabilities or limitations of the computer, modem, or router. However, if you consistently receive poor performance, we can have a technician examine the connection in your home.
When using the internet, it's normal to notice varying speeds from one site to another, or even on different pages within one site. When you request information from a website, there are many paths it must cross before the information appears on your computer screen, and that information can only travel as fast as the slowest connection along the way.
A cable modem or network cannot make a website go any faster- only the owner of individual sites can control them. The speed can be affected, either within or outside of the Wave network. To help eliminate these inconsistencies while testing the speed of your internet connection, Wave provides a speed test designed to test your connection within our network.
To help eliminate inconsistencies while testing the speed of your internet connection, Wave provides a speed test designed to test your connection within our network.
In order to have more than one computer connected to the internet at a time, you will need to have a wireless home networking system set up.
You can add Wave's Wireless Home Networking service to any level of internet service for only $5.00 a month, which includes a wireless router lease (separate cable modem required), home network set-up, and support in case of any technical issues.

Exercise is now being recognized as an important component of the fight against cancer. There is evidence that exercise can be of benefit in three ways to manage cancer and its symptoms. First, epidemiological evidence indicates that exercise, combined with healthy lifestyle practices, appears to prevent certain types of cancers. The cancers that are reported to occur less frequently in active people are cancers of the colon, breast, prostate, and possibly the lung, digestive system, thyroid, bladder and the hematopoietic system (Lichtenstein, et al. 2000; Sternfeld, et al., 1992; Frisch, et al., 1985). Second, aerobic exercise has been shown to provide benefits specifically to people undergoing treatment for cancer. These benefits include improved physical function and relief from fatigue, nausea, and depression (Pinto & Maruyama, 1999). Third, exercise enables people who survive cancer with a means to recover their physical functions and return to a healthy and active lifestyle (Augustine & Gerber, 2000, Friendenreich & Courneya, 1996).
Despite evidence that supports exercise as a means to manage cancer and its symptoms, people with cancer are routinely told to rest and limit their physical activity (Ream & Richardson, 1999). However, rest and diminished physical activity lead to further declines in function that worsen the symptoms of cancer, such as fatigue, nausea and depression (Ream & Richardson, 1999, Dimeo, et al., 1998, Segar, et al., 1998, MacVicar, et al., 1989, Winningham, et al., 1986). This worsening of symptoms leads to chronic disabilities that continue to plague cancer survivors in the recovery and remission phases of their disease. Chronic disabilities that continually affect cancer survivors include limited physical function, chronic fatigue, and depression (Dimeo, et al., 1998, Segar, et al., 1998).
The following discussion on cancer and exercise will present three topic areas. The first topic area will include an overview of cancer epidemiology and pathology, cancer causes, and methods of cancer diagnosis. The second topic area will present a review of the literature on experimental studies related to exercise and cancer. The final portion of this paper will describe guidelines for the development of safe and effective exercise protocols for people undergoing treatment for cancer, recovering from cancer, in remission from cancer, or living with cancer.

Crank Brothers Egg Beater 2 Pedals
The Eggbeater 2 has a steel axle and a bushing/cartridge bearing combo to ensure a long life. Should the pedals ever need a little TLC Crank Brothers has made them very easy to service. The included cleats remain unchanged offer 6 degrees of float and either a 15 or 20 degree release angle depending on how they're set up. They are designed to fit any 2 bolt, SPD style shoe.
I use the egg beaters mainly on my cross bike. Their weight is low, and for this application they are perfect. I'll use them on my mtb to race because they're so light, but for trail riding I prefer a platform as well. Great performing pedal.

Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance Offers Helicopter Safety Management System
The RotorSMS program is a comprehensive, cutting-edge safety program with online delivery that includes a tailored Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and Operations Manual, forms and reports, safety tracking system, and e-Surveys.
Hilton Head, SC — Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance, headquartered in Hilton Head, South Carolina, has begun offering a specially designed Safety Management System, RotorSMS, to helicopter operators, and it is already attracting significant attention from some major sources. The program has been reviewed and accepted by the United States Forest Service (USFS) which has added Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance to its list of recommended resources. "It is apparent that your company provides the level of safety that we would like for our service providers to implement. With that in mind…our operators will be encouraged to contact you directly for further information," wrote R.G. "Ron" Hanks, Chief of the U.S. Forest Service's Aviation Risk Management and Training Systems in a letter acknowledging his review of the Baldwin SMS.
The Forest Service has implemented an SMS approach to accident prevention and currently requires each contractor to develop and implement a safety system program. In an average season, the USFS employs over 300 aircraft in a variety of missions including firefighting, low-level reconnaissance, game surveys, law enforcement and other support missions for natural resources programs. Hanks estimates that USFS operations average more than 80,000 flight hours per year with a current average accident rate of 5.4 per 100,000 hours. "We believe that this rate can be lowered through a change in the aviation safety culture," he added.
Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance has customized its core safety program, which was originally developed for smaller fixed wing flight operations, to fit the specific needs of the helicopter community. "Our RotorSMS program incorporates tools similar to those we use in our basic program, tailored to rotary wing operators," explained Don Baldwin, president of Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance. "Subscribers to RotorSMS enjoy the benefits of saving time and money, including favorable consideration for insurance premium reductions and resource discounts…and they're able to meet contractor requirements like those of the U.S. Forest Service. The beauty of our program is that we can have our clients up and running in just a few days," he added.
The RotorSMS program is a comprehensive, cutting-edge safety program with online delivery that includes a tailored Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and Operations Manual, forms and reports, safety tracking system, and e-Surveys. It provides timely delivery of Operational Messages, automatic notification of changes and updates to Operations Manual and the ERP, and advanced notice of regulatory changes. It also simplifies compliance to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and IS-BAO regulations, standards, and practices. Baldwin further explained, "We've developed the program in collaboration with key insurance industry leaders and experienced operators and flight department veterans and we work closely with our clients to implement and maintain the SMS standards."
Baldwin, who headed both the Texaco and Coca Cola flight departments and is a former chairman of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Board of Directors, leads a highly experienced staff of experts who have combined their expertise to develop Safety Management Systems that are based on proven techniques, established resources, and consistent monitoring of client operations.

Lauren Cheney Leads the U-20 WNT Through CONCACAF Qualifying with Big Game and Bigger Heart
Jan 23, 2006
Legendary ESPN announcer Chris Berman would love U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team forward Lauren Cheney.
At five-foot-eight and with a rock solid frame, Cheney is as likely to go through a defender as around her. Watching her post-up a defender or thunder toward goal, one can almost hear Berman's famous "NFL Primetime" sound effects as overmatched opponents bounce off her powerful legs, hips and torso.
Seeing the physically dominant Cheney play her position, one would be hard-pressed to believe that at the age of three she underwent open-heart surgery. Baby Lauren had a procedure to correct an atrial septal defect, and the 10-inch scar that runs vertically along her sternum is a lifetime reminder.
That day on the operating table may also have been the last time Cheney sat still.
She has remarkably coherent memories from the day of her surgery and the days after. And none of them include having any fear or nervousness, although she's pretty sure she didn't grasp the seriousness of what was going on. On the day she went to the hospital, she was playing with her brother, and as she left, told him to keep all the toys right where they were because she would "be right back."
Cheney was at the hospital for a total of two weeks, a time span that included tests before her surgery and recovery after. Those who were there could probably testify that the character traits which make Cheney such a tremendous competitor today were present at the beginning.
In her own words: "I could possibly have been the most hell-raising kid that hospital has ever seen."
When the nurses gave her a liquid anesthesia to knock her out before the surgery, she tried to postpone the sleep by running around and around a couch. She eventually succumbed.
After surgery, when they tried to make her wear a diaper, the already potty-trained Cheney refused. Vehemently.
"I kicked the nurses when they tried to put it on," she said somewhat sheepishly, but also with some pride. It was perhaps the first clue to her future career in soccer.
In recovery, she tried to play nice with the other kids in the playroom, but ended up pushing over all of their blocks.
If she wasn't going to wear a diaper, she certainly wasn't going to use a bedpan. The three-year-old Cheney made the nurses walk her to the bathroom. When she set foot in the hallway and starting walking the day after her surgery, she remembers everyone cheering as she took each step a bit faster.
The nurses also had a little red wagon and asked her to get in so they could pull her down to the cafeteria. Yeah, right. Cheney had received a Teddy Bear after the surgery (which she still has today). She put it in the wagon and pulled it herself.
Her rebellious nature certainly wasn't going to stop once she got home.
"After the surgery, my mom and dad hid my bike because they knew I would try to go out and ride," said Cheney. "They told me that I couldn't get my sutures wet, but then I got in a water gun fight with my brother, and my parents flipped out."
Cheney has not slowed down since. The procedure, which sealed a hole in her heart, allowing the increased flow of oxygenated blood to her brain and muscles, was completely successful. She has had no ill effects over the years while developing into one of the top young players in the United States and was recently named the NSCAA High School and Youth Player of the Year.
As she grew into a junior high school student, however, the scar was a source of uneasiness. She admits she wouldn't wear t-shirts that made the scar visible until high school.
"I was embarrassed about it," admitted Cheney. "My mom said I could I have plastic surgery at the end of junior high, but she also said it was unique, so I never did. I had just gotten tired of people asking me about, but now I don't care at all."
It's part of that carefree attitude that has made Cheney so successful as she rises through the ranks of the U.S. Women's National Team. A challenge never bothers her, in fact, she rejoices in them. Evidence of that came with the young forward's quick adjustment to the full national team, attending two training camps in 2005, one in Portland and one in Los Angeles at The Home Depot Center.
Cheney admits, however, that she may not have embraced the process of choosing a college. In fact, when most elite women's youth players are committing to schools in the beginning of their junior years, Cheney waited until the middle of her senior year.
It wasn't that she didn't have some great options, she was just waiting for a gut feeling that had yet to come. And of course, as her stay at the hospital made clear early on, she doesn't take kindly to being told what to do.
"I wasn't ready to decide," said Cheney, who spurned the pressure of several high profile coaches and took her own sweet time. "I went back and forth in my mind and kept having questions. If there was a new school that would call, I would say to myself 'maybe I am interested in them, too.'"
It became apparent that she needed some focus. As the process dragged on, her parents were even starting to wonder if she could make a decision.
"My parents made me narrow it down," she said. "I guess it was getting really annoying and frustrating."
It may have seemed to outsiders like she took forever, but Cheney had actually set a deadline, and she met it.
At 5:30 a.m. (her normal hour to rise for school) on November 30, 2005, the alarm on her cell phone went off, blaring "Waltz of the Flowers." Four months earlier she had set the alarm as her deadline to choose a college. The phone read:
5:30 a.m.
Make college decision
So she did.
"I checked my phone, put my hands on my head, and the rest of the day that's all I thought about," said Cheney. "I got home from school and called my parents."
Should would attend UCLA.
"It just felt right," she said.
So next fall the Midwestern girl will come west to Los Angeles, a place she's very familiar with, having spent much time at the U.S. Soccer National Team Training Center in Carson, Calif. She even graduated from high school a semester early so it will be easier to put all her effort and focus into the U-20's run to Russia, provided all goes well in Mexico.
For a girl who overcame a hole in her heart to put holes in opponents' nets, odds are she'll make sure it does.

Holland goes to only one building on campus for his classes at Auburn during the week, sitting in the same desk each and every day. So while Ricardo Louis' miracle game-winning touchdown catch against Georgia has been the talk of the country, Holland has barely noticed a difference in his day-to-day interaction with fellow students.
"I don't really get a whole lot of that," said Holland, a linebacker for the Tigers. "But my classmates congratulated me and the team as a whole, just said it was a good game. I heard everybody talking about the last play and how it was just a crazy win."
If Holland had it his way, the Tigers never would have needed Louis' last-minute heroics. From where he was standing, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray's 5-yard touchdown — which gave the Bulldogs a 38-37 lead with 1:49 remaining — shouldn't have counted in the first place.
Of course, he adde this was said selfishly, since he was the player who met Murray at the goal line.
"You don't always get calls to go your way," he said. "I made the play, so I wish it would have. Ryan (Smith) came in and helped out a little bit. But we still won, so it's all good."
CATCH STILL FRESH: Like the vast majority of those inside Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday, Jay Prosch watched Auburn's go-ahead, 73-yard scoring pass to Louis with anxious eyes.
The senior fullback described how the play unfolded from his vantage point.
"I saw the ball in the air and I looked down the field and saw two defenders and I was thinking, 'Oh man, I don't know who's got this,'" he said. "I saw the tip, and I saw that it was still in Ricardo's range, and I saw him reach out and tip it up to himself and I was like, 'Grab it, grab it,' and he grabbed it. After that, I was like, 'This is a joke. This is unreal. This isn't happening.' It was just amazing. I've never been on the field or been in a stadium and been able to see a play like that happen. It's awesome."
As awe-inspiring as the pass-and-catch was, Prosch said he expects quarterback Nick Marshall to receive some pointedly constructive criticism during offensive meetings this week about not only throwing into double-coverage, but overlooking Sammie Coates, who was wide-open on the play.
"There might be a little bit of that," Prosch said. "There's always some learning to do, but in the end, we got the win. We definitely are going to continue to get better."

Nice idea, I eagerly await theme one :3
Welcome to the Weekly theme challenge.
Theme of this week is: MARTIAL ARTS
The idea of this thread is to have 1 theme for each week to challenge you, the members of mangatutorials.com, to draw.
Each week, there will be a new theme posted on the first and the last post that will be short, simple and open for any improvements. These themes could be anything from "cats" to "Final Fantasy". So pay attention to the weekly theme and let your imagination be printed for the world to see.
This is a challenge and not a contest. It is to see how good you guys are to draw arts from 1-2 words and for you to prove your artistic skills to us.
Last weeks entries:
#9 Star Wars
By: eltoroguaco
Week 1-5
Entries of week #1
Entries of week #2
Entries of week #3
Entries of week #4
Entries of week #5
week 6-10
- Every entrance has to be uploaded as a .png or .jpg and posted as a comment to this thread.
- Do not critique the entries of other members. This thread is to make and show the arts, not critique them.
- Every art must be made by you.
- The arts submitted must be made during the week of the theme.
- Nudity has to be placed within "Spoiler" tags.
- Follow the forum rules. No necromancing, double post... etc.
Q: How many entries can we make?
A: You can make as many entries you want for each week, as long as you stick to the rules.
Q: Who decide the themes?
A: I will decide it for the most part. However, I will once in a while give you the chance to give ideas and/or vote for the next week's theme.
Q: Can we come with suggestions for the themes?
A: Yes, any suggestions are allowed. Maybe exactly that suggestion will be the next theme?
Q: How important is the theme for the picture?
A: The picture has to include the theme and it must be clear, though it does not have be the main focus of the picture.
For example, if the theme is "Cat", you can draw a lady holding a cat or a cat sitting in a tree. Though you can not draw a forest with the cat as a small dot in the background or eyes in a bush.
Q: Will the new theme arrive at the start of each week?
A: No. As this thread was created in the middle of a calendar week, the next theme will arrive every 7th day from that date.
Ends on Thursdays with the new theme around midnight to Friday.
Q: Do we have to draw in a manga style?
A: No. You can draw the theme in any art style you want.
Hope that was enough information for you to go. If there's any questions, feel free to ask them as a comment.
Next theme on, Thursday 22nd of November at 11.59pm CST (5.59am GMT)

nah. Planned not to do that cause the upcoming themes can be changed before the week. It's 6 days left, so everything can happen on that time.

This is very usefull for us, but does it also work for active windows?
Thank you
- October 31, 2007 at 4:23 am(2) Zarko Gajic says:
Yes it does
- May 14, 2010 at 5:18 pm(3) Silver Warior says:
As it might be useful when you definitly want to draw user atention it can be very anoying in some circumstances. I might even cause a system crach. Wel not on its own, but by forcing some other aplication into certain circumstances when it becomes unstable.
What Im talking here are computer games. Even nowadays most of them still doesnt handle well when they are minimized or when they lose focus. Unfortunatly most computer games programers still thinks that when someone is playing their games they doesnt do anything else. But since nowadays computer are very powerful it is more and more often that users keep some programs runing in the background even when they are playing computer games. And when one of those programs tries to draw user atention in the way wich is described in this article it might cuse that game to crash. And in some cases that game can then even cuse a operating system to freeze (quite comon on Win98 and prior, a bit rare on WinXP, but I haven't encountered this on Windows7 yet).
So I advise some caution becouse your users would be very angry if your program would be the one wich would in the end lead to a potential data loos. Also most users don't want to be disturbed while playing games, watching movies, etc.
- May 18, 2010 at 3:23 am(4) Arnd says:
@Silver Warrior: An example is the free version of "AntiVir". It pops up a dialog and while doing stopping everything you are doing. Most programs wouldn´t crash but its very annoying.
"Stealing" the focus is not a good idea. While typing on something like word, you could even close that dialog without seeing it (pressing Enter for a new line) and after that all following keys are not in your document.
Maybe, a baloon or something like that would be a better solution.
- May 18, 2010 at 11:08 pm(5) Silver Warior says:
Yes I completly agree with Arnd. Creating a balon help notification is a good idea. The advantages are that it is alway displayed above other alications except when you are in full scren mode. Also it is you hwo actualy controll wheter you want the baloon help message to autohide after certain times or is displayed until user closes it.
Also one of very powerful fetures od notifying user of some importain events is the use of system sound. This sound will be heard no mather what the user is doing (listening to the music, playing games, etc.) unles the users either don't have speakers conected or has them turned off.

A Year Up
Helping Young Adults Move from Poverty to Professional Careers in a Single Year
Gerald Chertavian - Author
add to cart
- Hardcover: $26.95 add to cart
"[Chertavian] demonstrates that with hard work and the right supports … young adults can overcome even the toughest of circumstances." —Geoffrey Canada, president and CEO, Harlem Children's Zone
There are many good jobs in America—and many urban young adults eager to take them—if they can bridge the Opportunity Divide that strands many motivated workers at the bottom of the job ladder.
In 2000, Gerald Chertavian, a successful technology entrepreneur and banker, dedicated his life and business expertise to founding Year Up, an intensive one-year program that provides otherwise stranded young adults with training, mentorship, internships, and ultimately real jobs. Following a single Year Up class from admission through graduation, A Year Up lets students share – in their own words- the challenges, failures, and personal successes they experience during the program. It is the inspiring story of a pioneering program that is bridging the Opportunity Divide, with results that can fuel our economy and revive the American ideal of equal opportunity for all.
As I write this, our nation is in the grip of an economic crisis unprecedented in the modern age. Yet in the midst of record joblessness, Year Up has been able to place our students in good jobs in terrific companies, and we have some pretty audacious plans for expansion. How come? And what's it to you?
The stakes are high here. Our future as a viable, competitive economy is at risk. We had no crystal ball to predict the current job market woes; I started Year Up by looking backward at long-term systemic failures that have only grown worse. Our program is the response to an Opportunity Divide that, as it gets more acute, makes our mission more compelling and our methods more acutely needed. Putting underserved and marginalized young adults to work in real career paths isn't a miracle. It's an achievable reality if you give them access to opportunity. What we provide is good, job-focused education to enter a market starving for skilled workers. How basic is that?
Seeing is believing. By the time you have heard our story and seen exactly how our program works, I'll have demonstrated a few encouraging truths.
There's reason for hope: As our nation's demand for skilled labor increases and its pipeline for high-quality entry-level workers runs dry, Year Up is building a dynamic new workforce specifically trained for those jobs. For ten years, over four hundred leading organizations have found added value in our students as interns and as permanent hires. We've expanded our program across the nation and we've proven our model works.
Hope rests on a simple but critical change in perception: Year Up's talented, successful workforce is made up of individuals too many of us have long been conditioned to see as liabilities. I am going to convince you that this is flat-out wrong. Our young adults are huge assets to an ailing economy once they're given an opportunity. I am going to show you how the adversity of their beginnings can make them stronger, more motivated employees. Far from being a drag on our economic engine, these skilled new workers will be the key to its future.
All of us can benefit: Depending on your circumstances, there are different ways to hear Year Up's story and process its lessons.
If you're an employer, look to these pages for new ways to build a vital, sustainable workforce, one that can leverage your HR expenditures, improve employee retention, and make a greater contribution to the communities where you operate.
If you're well employed, please read this with an eye toward how you can help ease this nation's painful job crisis with even the smallest contribution of word and deed. Our corporate partners, volunteers, and working alumni will show you how it's done.
If you need a job or a new start in life, look to these young people— challenged in ways you might not dream of—for the inspiration to find your own way.
If you grew up in a challenged urban community with abundant risks and scant resources, as our students have, if you understand their struggles all too well, take heart and some practical survival tips from their astonishing journeys.
If you have never had the opportunity and good fortune to meet or truly know a single one of the over five million young people labeled "disconnected" in America today— if your only images of our urban young adults are on street corners, in mug shots, or as stereotyped movie characters— listen closely to their voices here and see who they really are. Our students are my heroes; get to know them and you'll find yourself wishing that you— or your children— had their determination and courage.

Jay A. Clarke Appointed Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Clark
For Immediate Release
March 12, 2009
Michael Conforti, director of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, announced today that Jay A. Clarke has been appointed Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs of the museum located in Williamstown, MA. She will begin her duties on May 4.
Clarke comes to Williamstown from the Art Institute of Chicago, where she serves as Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings. While there she curated a number of exhibitions including German Art and the Past: Prints and Drawings from Friedrich to Baselitz, Postwar German Works on Paper: Gifts of Susan and Lewis Mailow, and Goya's Vision: Prints from the Permanent Collection. Clarke's current exhibition Becoming Edvard Munch has been hailed by The New York Times as "a thrilling exhibition" and by the Chicago Tribune as "among the institute's finest of the last 30 years." In addition to curatorial expertise, Clarke brings a passion for and wealth of experience in teaching, having served as an instructor for a number of courses and seminars at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Brown University. She holds an M.A. and Ph.D. from Brown University and a B.A. from Holy Cross.
"We are fortunate to have Jay joining the Clark. Her curatorial and academic experience will provide an exciting and professional support to our dual mission as both an art museum with a dynamic exhibition program, and a research and academic center for visiting scholars, graduate training, and internationally recognized symposia and conferences," said Conforti. "I speak for everyone on our staff when I say we are really looking forward to working with her."
The position of Manton Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs was endowed in 2007 by the Manton Foundation with a $50 million gift that supports the extensive Research and Academic Program at the Clark, as well as the Manton Gallery and the planned Manton Study Center for Works on Paper. In addition, over 200 British paintings, oil sketches, watercolors, and other works on paper by J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, and Thomas Gainsborough collected by Sir Edwin A.G. Manton were given to the Institute by the foundation. Clarke will oversee the planning and programming of the Study Center as well as caring for the Clark's holdings of over 5,000 works on paper while planning for its growth. The Clark's collection is rich and varied, including masterpieces by Picasso, Cézanne, Degas, Bonnard, Stieglitz, Rembrandt, Lartigue, Whistler, and many other great artists. Acquisitions over the last few years have included a number of important nineteenth-century photographs; thirty Italian, Dutch, Flemish, and French drawings from the Steiner Collection; and a suite of sixteen drawings by the great seventeenth-century French landscape artist Claude Lorrain. In 2008, a copy of J.M.W. Turner's nineteenth-century Liber Studiorum was purchased by the Manton Foundation, adding to their already generous gifts.
The Clark
Set amidst 140 acres in the Berkshires, the Clark is one of the few major art museums that also serves as a leading international center for research and scholarship. In addition to its extraordinary collections, the Clark organizes groundbreaking exhibitions that advance new scholarship and enhance the public's understanding of art. The Clark's research and academic programs include an international fellowship program and conferences. Together with Williams College, the Clark sponsors one of the nation's leading master's programs in art history.
In June 2008, the Clark opened Stone Hill Center, the first phase of its expansion and campus enhancement project. Designed by Tadao Ando, the 32,000-square-foot, wood-and-glass building houses two galleries, a meeting and studio art classroom, an outdoor café, and the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. The second phase of the expansion includes the creation of another stand-alone building by Ando that will house exhibition galleries, visitor services, and education and conference spaces. Scheduled for completion in 2013, Phase II also encompasses the upgrade and internal expansion of the Clark's original 1955 building and the Manton Research Center by Annabelle Selldorf.

This NASA image from a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi NPP satellite in April and October 2012 shows the earth's city lights at night. It took 312 orbits to get a clear shot of every parcel of Earth's land surface and islands at night.The new data was mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery of Earth to provide a realistic view of the planet. The image was made possible by the new satellite's "day-night band" of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, gas flares, auroras, wildfires and reflected moonlight.

The 2014 New York auto show is all wrapped up -- at least for the press. We saw some big...
Subaru SHARC Concept wins LA Auto Show Design Challenge
Future police vehicle don't need no stinking badge
It's Subaru's Automated Highway Response Concept. They call it the SHARC. It looks like a jet. We already made an Udo Dirkschneider joke about it. And it's won the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show Design Challenge. Subie's autonomous patrol vehicle was picked by the jury as a sterling example of forward-thinking law-enforcement equipment.
According to Chuck Pelly of Design LA, "The SHARC captured the vision of the Design Challenge theme by combining functionality and problem-solving technology around a dynamic and plausible story."
Subie's pie-on-the-pavement concept was designed to meet Hawaii's UltraGreen carbon-neutral enviro regulations. Yes, it stretched the concept beyond California, but presumably, Subaru's considered the need for enforcement on the long, long stretches of the Golden State's desolate Central Valley arteries as well.
Autonomous operation allows for a leaner force, and undoubtedly some staggering future legal battles; though by 2025, perhaps the parameters of lawful drone use will have been clarified.
Still, we can't help but be a little creeped out. O brave new world, that has such robots in't . . .

I think I might like this one better than benifit yes theyre real. it doesnt clump or smear. im a waitress so I need high performance makeup that can last all day and night. I have nice lashes to begin with but it did add nice definition but the brush didnt poke my eye out like benifits plus it cheaper! -$10
Mascara was the first make up tool I ever purchased (after lip gloss, really) so I've been through my fair share of crud. This, however, is great stuff, the two combs really emphasize my eyelashes, and I just really enjoy using it.
The only con is how long the wand is. A slight inconvienience, I have to be careful because if not I end up with a blotch of black on my middle finger.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I received a sample of this mascara with a free 7-piece Clinique gift. I am happy to report that I love it! The thing that makes this product so unique is the brush. It it double sided with both the traditional mascara brush and a comb. This combination allows for perfect application! My lashes never ever clump with this wand and makes them look so wonderful! Unfortunately, although I can rave all I want about the wand, the formula itself is lacking. It applies nicely and looks great, but it does smudge after a few hours. I'm not sure if I should blame the formula or my oily lower lids, but either way, I will only be using this mascara for short-term wear.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My lashes are naturally very thick and very long, but that does not mean that I do not need a good mascara. However, finding one that does not make my lashes looking like ridiculous spider-legs is a real pain. Believe me, I tried everything under the sun in the last 10 years with catastrophic results (drugstore and luxury brands, other cilinique mascaras etc), and finally, my search is over. This thing separates my lashes, gives them a nice colour, does not build up, does not make my lashes feeling heavy, and does not make my sensitive eyes wet. I don't really care for the comb part because it's useless for me, but the brush+mascara works for me like nothing else out there. I still had to take one lippie off as mine is getting older (6+ months) it dried up a bit and can get flaky.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is definitely the best mascara out there. It is quite expensive, but it lasts for six months so it is definitely worth it. Also, my boyfriend told me how beautiful my eyes looked when I wore it for the first time in a while. It has two sides, but i prefer to use the combed side as opposed to the conventional mascara brush on the other side. It is so much better than the similarly named, clinique high impact mascara, which I found very average. This is my HG mascara because it lengthens and adds volume so easily and lasts throughout the day without flaking. It is also so worth it for how long the tube lasts. I would recommend this to anyone.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm sorry to say this does absolutely nothing for my lashes. Got this in a beauty box and would definitely not purchase it myself.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love clinique mascaras and the formulation, but this mascara gets a 1 because of the brush. The brush takes almost no product with it, and it takes a loong time to get the right amount of product on the lashes, To use it up, i use a lancome brush in it and that works.
I tried this mascara 5 years ago and it was definitely one of the most wet mascaras and weighed my lashes down. I couldn't make the comb work; just clumped. Their Naturally Glossy Mascara is my favorite ever though so I highly recommend it.
I absolutely love this product. Previous to this I was using the Maybelline great lashes mascara, you know the one that looks like a watermelon, pink on one end, green on the other, but I found, it was making my eyelashes hard and brittle and when I took off my mascara, they were falling out. I found out about this product from my aunt who on her face uses nothing but Clinique. I loved her makeup and her lashes, so I upgraded to the High Definition. The brush is dual sided, one for brushing the lashes and the other (the finer side), for combing and defining. Even just using this one without eyeliner makes your eyes look bigger and sexier in an au natural way. I'll never switch. No one likes clumpy lashes. The price is reasonable, I buy 1-2 a year. If I buy one in Jan i wont need another till Oct or Nov, and I wear my makeup every day.
Best mascara I have ever used hands down. I got this mascara as a free gift when purchasing my powder from the Clinique counter at David Jones, and naturally I was eager to see what the little goodies they gave me happened to be and this was definitely my favorite. I already have very long lashes, which proved a problem with mascara as most would add length but the ends would all end up crossing over and it would become a constricted tacky mess of black wires framing my eyes, not a good look. This mascara manages to add a lot of length while keeping my lashes seperated perfectly. It also adds quite alot of curl and is very light weight, meaning that it doesnt drag the lashes down from its curl and it holds very well. Dries quickly, doesnt smudge. Just a perfect all round mascara for those who already have reasonably lengthy eyelashes. Definnnately reccomend!

Of all Europe's capitals, Athens is probably the one that has changed the most in recent years. But even though Athens has become a modern metropolis, it still retains a good deal of its old small town feel. Here antiquity meets the future, and the ancient monuments form a classical backdrop to a new and trendier Athens – and it is precisely these great contrasts that make the city such a fascinating place to explore.
Fanciful architecture and hip restaurants have come together with the sunny southern Spanish climate and beaches. This has transformed Barcelona in just a few decades from a rough port city to one of Europe's—if not the world's—premier destinations. Stroll along La Rambla, admire the Casa Calvet's façade or the Casa Mila designed by Gaudi, visit the Market of la Boqueria or shop at El Corte Inglés. Sample some of the many bars, cafés and late night haunts while you're at it.
Bari, a typical maritime and market city, is the capital of the Apulia region and the second biggest city in the Italian south. The city developed industrially in the second half of the twentieth century and now boasts an important trade fair, the largest in the south. Tourists visit Bari for its historic buildings, art works and fascinating town centre, as well as for the beaches which surround the area.
As capital of the Emilia Romagna region, Bologna is an art city, a university centre and a place renowned for its excellent cuisine. It hosts important international trade fairs and is one of the world's greatest motor cities. Ducati, Lamborghini and Maserati were all born in Bologna and Ferrari's headquarters can be found in nearby Modena.
Bruxelles, une ville qui n'a pas fini de surprendre et de vous émouvoir. Cette ville-région-capitale de 500 millions d'Européens vous attend pour partager ses trésors. Gageons que son passé historique turbulent est la cause de son ouverture d'esprit et de sa convivialité, à Bruxelles vous vous sentirez bien ! Outre ses monuments historiques, Bruxelles partage avec vous ses bulles BD, ses façades Art Nouveau, le talent de ses stylistes et designers, ses gourmandises et son surréalisme présent à chaque coin de rue.
Bucharest is undoubtedly Europe's best kept secret. Restaurants, bars, art galleries and museums are now springing up on every newly renovated corner. Travellers are steadily discovering this little gem of a city and seeking out Bucharest's hidden character. Its treasures are well worth hunting for and visitors will find in their quest a place of warmth and spirit. Welcome to Bucharest!
Long considered to be the jewel of the orient, Cairo is an international city overflowing with an interesting mixture of different cultures. It is a city steeped in the early civilizations of the ancient pharaohs, blended with the history of Christian and Islamic cultures. It is all brought together by the modern sights and luxuries of a sophisticated and cosmopolitan city.
Catania is the second largest city in Sicily, framed by the Etna volcano to the west, and the Mediterranean to the east. It is a vibrant city with bars, cafés, honking cars and narrow alleys. Visitors can retreat to the cooler climate of the surrounding small mountain villages, or to the sea for a balmy swim.
Chania (say "Hanya") must be the loveliest port town in Greece. Swallows soar in sheer blue skies above the semicircle of tall Venetian houses around its picture-perfect Old Harbour. The tables of scores of bars and restaurants line the quayside. Behind the harbour front, narrow, traffic-free shopping lanes thread through the atmospheric Old Town. On either side of the town, sandy beaches stretch along the coast.
Corfu is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Greek islands. It is the greenest of the Ionian Islands and probably also the best known. The island offers a beguiling landscape of wild flowers, cypress trees, olive trees and several seductively sandy beaches. Corfu also has a major vegetable garden which gives the fresh mountain air a pleasant scent. To the south of Corfu town is Moraitika and Messonghi which have beautiful scenery and beaches. However, the west coast of the island is the most attractive as that is the place where you will find some of the prettiest countryside around and it is also here that you will find the small coves with the sandy beaches surrounded by cliffs and trees. The north coast is more typical Greek with a rocky coastline where the crystal clear water has chopped into pebbled bays and coves.

I love all of the CSI games that have come out so far for the pc. I thought this would be like them. I was very wrong! I completed the whole game in 1 evening. It was too easy and not stimulating at all. Hopefully the next ones will be different.more

It's always amazing that we need academic studies to state the obvious, such as the one in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology a few years ago finding that people are happier during weekends.
No less amazing, though, is the knee-jerk reaction from businesses when a common-sense study comes anywhere close to threatening profits. They routinely say that the findings are inconclusive and that more research is needed.
Is it any wonder it's so hard to get anything done?
The latest example of a study confirming what most of us — if we're honest — knew already came this week from the American Automobile Assn., which hired researchers at the University of Utah to look into whether doing other stuff while we're driving is dangerous.
The study concluded that, yep, it is.
Specifically, it found that hands-free, voice-activated technologies increasingly being used to access email or social media represent "significant impairments to driving that stem from the diversion of attention from the task of operating a motor vehicle."
Listening to the radio or chatting with passengers aren't too risky, the study found. Yakking away on a cellphone, whether hand-held or hands-free, is worse. But devoting attention to voice-activated gizmos poses an "extensive" safety risk.
AAA estimated that about 9 million vehicles on U.S. roads already can send voice-activated messages. That number will soar to more than 62 million by 2018, the organization said.
"These findings reinforce previous research that hands-free is not risk-free," said Peter Kissinger, head of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which commissioned the study. "Increased mental workload and cognitive distractions can lead to a type of tunnel vision or inattention blindness where motorists don't see potential hazards right in front of them."
So now that we know it's better to concentrate on the road than on, say, work or your social life, what do we do about it? AAA recommends that automakers limit use of voice-activated technologies to driving-related stuff such as controlling the temperature of the car.
The organization is also urging the auto industry to cut off access to certain voice-activated features, such as email and social media, while a vehicle is in motion.
So what does the auto industry have to say?
"Our primary concern is that this study could send a misleading message to consumers," Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, told me. "Clearly, using hands-free is safer."
Safer than hand-held, that is. But that's not quite what the AAA study concluded. It focused instead on whether voice-activated communications require brainpower that would otherwise go toward getting you to your destination in one piece.
On that score, Bergquist said it has yet to be proved conclusively that voice-activated technologies, including those that allow brief emails or Facebook posts, impair a person's ability to drive safely.
"We believe voice-activated systems enhance safety," she said. "You can keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road."
More research into the matter is needed, Bergquist added.
And that's basically the same thing the tobacco industry said when confronted with studies showing that cigarettes were addictive and killed people.
It's what the food and beverage industries said when confronted with studies showing that sugar, salt and fat were leading causes of the global obesity epidemic.
